The latest version of Nvidia Graphics driver for Linux which is Nvidia337.12 has been released and is available for download. It comes with plenty of fixes and changes. This article will guide you to install Nvidia 337.12 in Ubuntu and Linux Mint systems.

Fixes

Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL programs to freeze under some low memory conditions.

Fixed a bug that could cause ECC settings to be displayed incorrectly in nvidia-settings when changing ECC settings on a multi-GPU system.

Removed the "OnDemandVBlankInterrupts" X configuration option: this option has been enabled by default since version 177.68 of the NVIDIA Unix driver, and the documentation had not been updated to reflect the new default value.

Updated the color correction settings page in the nvidia-settings control panel to reflect gamma changes made by other RandR clients while the control panel was already running.

Fixed a bug that prevented the use of multiple simultaneous X servers on UEFI systems.

Updated the nvidia-settings source package to build libXNVCtrl when building nvidia-settings, instead of relying on a pre-built library.

Added the ability to over- and under-clock certain GeForce GPUs in the GeForce GTX 400 series and later. For GPUs that allow it, an offset can be applied to clock values in some clock domains of some performance levels. This clock manipulation is done at the user's own risk. See the README documentation of the "CoolBits" X configuration option for more details.

Updated the minimum required version of GTK+ from 2.2 to 2.4 for nvidia-settings and many more...

When I go to terminal and do "sudo service mdm stop" it goes black and don't go back till I physically switch the computer off, then the termination processes appear, and so I can't install the official driver.
